EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas masterpiece by Jan Gossaert, also known as Mabuse. This stunning print captures the essence of grief and sorrow in an incredibly detailed manner. The scene depicts the moment after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, where his lifeless body is being mournfully lowered from the cross. The painting showcases a range of emotions through its carefully crafted characters - from Mary Magdalene's tear-stained face to the Virgin Mary's pained expression. Gossaert's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, particularly in his depiction of the crown of thorns resting upon Jesus' head and the intricate folds of fabric that drape around him. The use of light and shadow adds depth and intensity to this poignant scene. The composition is further enhanced by various symbolic elements such as a step ladder representing spiritual ascent and descent, emphasizing both human suffering and divine redemption. This remarkable artwork now resides at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, where it continues to captivate viewers with its emotional power centuries after its creation. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness one of history's most significant moments - a testament to Gossaert's skill as an artist who masterfully captured not only physical likeness but also profound emotion within his work.
